D r a f t CENTRON® OpenWay™ Meter Technical Reference Guide iii Compliance With FCC Regulations FCC Part 15, Class B This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by Itron, Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Co-existance of Transmitter This device is authorized to operate simultaniously with GPRS transmitter FCC ID MIVGSM0108 RF Exposure In accordance with FCC requirements of human exposure to radiofrequency fields, the radiating element shall be installed such that a minimum separation distance of 20 cm . Canadian Interference Causing Equipment Regulations This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference Causing Equipment Regulations. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Cet appareillage numérique de la classe B répond à toutes les exigences de l'interférence Canadienne causant des règlements d'équipement. L'opération est sujette aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) ce dispositif peut ne pas causer l'interférence nocive, et (2) ce dispositif doit accepter n'importe quelle interférence reçue, y compris l'interférence qui peut causer l'opération peu désirée. Factory Repair of Meters Itron recommends that all repairs be performed at the factory. Certain repairs may be performed by the user; however, unauthorized repairs will void any existing warranty. All surface mounted parts must be replaced by the factory. D r a f t iv CENTRON® OpenWay™ Meter Technical Reference Guide Repair of Meters Under Warranty If the meter is under warranty, then Itron, Inc. will repair the meter at no charge if the meter has failed due to components or workmanship. A return authorization number must be obtained before the equipment can be sent back to the factory. Contact your Itron Sales Representative for assistance. Repair of Meters Not Under Warranty The same procedure as above applies. Itron will charge for the necessary repairs based on the failure. Service Return Address Itron, Inc. Customer Repair Department 313 North Highway 11 Dock C West Union, SC 29696 Recycling Information The product you have purchased contains a battery (or batteries), circuit boards, and switches. The batteries are recyclable. At the end of the meter’s useful life, under various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of certain components into the municipal waste system. Check with your local solid waste officials for details about recycling options or proper disposal. Although polycarbonate is not a commonly recycled plastic, the recycling number for the polycarbonate inner cover, outer cover, and base is seven (7).

The CENTRON OpenWay meter incorporates a two-piece design combining a base metrology with a variety of OpenWay registers or options. The metrology portion of the meter contains all measurement circuitry and calibration information, while the personality modules contain the register functionality and communication mediums. Each version of the meter is distinguished by the various personality modules or option boards that mount to the standard meter metrology base. The CENTRON OpenWay meter is also available with a remote disconnect which is located in the bottom of the meter housing. The CENTRON OpenWay meter is available in the following model types: - Standard-CVSO - Integrated disconnect/reconnect - CVSOD - Integrated cell relay – CVSOC (Includes GPRS, Ethernet, and GPRS+Ethernet sub assemblies) For all model types, the register boards contain (1) 900 MHz LAN frequency hopping spread spectrum radio an (1) 2.4 GHz direct sequence spread spectrum Zigbee radio. Regardless of the meter model type and sub assembly, the register boards are electrically identical. The CVSOC can also incorporate a pre-approved 850/1900 GPRS modem module FCC ID: MIVGSM0108. Manufacturer Information: Itron Electricity Metering, Inc. 313 North Highway 11 West Union, SC 29696 Detailed photographs of the EUT are filed separately with this filing. 1.2.2 Intended Use The CENTRON OpenWay meter is used for measuring electrical energy consumption. 1.3 Test Methodology and Considerations Considering that the RF portion (register boards) are electrically identical between all models and subassemblies, the CVSO, CVSOD and CVSOC were tested and submitted under one FCC ID. Radiated emissions for all transmitters were performed on all models and sub assemblies and the worst case data presented in this report. Receiver radiated emissions and AC power line conducted emissions were also tested for all models and sub assemblies and operating voltages and the worst case data presented in this report. Radiated inter-modulation products were evaluated with all radios operating simultaneously. This includes the additional GPRS modem module integrated in model CVSOC as described in section 1.2. This device is considered a composite device by definition. The 900 MHz LAN radio operates under CFR 47 Part 15.247 and the 2.4 GHz Zigbee radio operates under CFR 47 Part 15.249. This report addresses Part 15.249 for the 2.4 GHz Zigbee radio only and a separate report will be issued for Part 15.247 in reference to the 900 MHz radio.
